I have had a small painless lump on the back of my neck tendon area for about 3 weeks. At firstt i thought it was a bug bite but it does not itch and has not gone away. People think im just paranoid and laugh but im ttc and do not want to have any complications if i succeed. Should i be concerned abouy this. Had bloodwork about 4 months ago with my gp and whatever they were testing i think cholesterol ect was all good.

Hi, If I were your treating Doctor for this case of a nape of neck lump, I would come up with only one and one possibility that is a sebaceous cyst! Nothing to worry about this and try not to get infected there!
I suggest you to go for an FNAC test of the lump for confirmation and to relieve your concerns!
Hope this answers your question. If you have additional questions or follow up questions then please do not hesitate in writing to us. I will be happy to answer your questions.
Wishing you good health.
